Whoa...

From my favourite producer in NOTL comes an epic Bordeaux blend. First tasted in 2010, this wine had a long way to go. Now that it's hit its stride, it demands a lean cut of beef on the BBQ, nothing added except maybe a touch of beet juice reduction. The wine enters with plum, blackberry, juicy black cherry and warm spice aromas. These flow through the palate, with dried fig, smoldering tobacco, and linzer torte rounding out the wine. 92 Points.

Natalie's Review

Southbrook Vineyards Triomphe Cabernet Merlot 2007, V.Q.A., Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, Canada: A juicy, succulent red that's vibrantly alive! Plush dark plum aromas with some toast. Richly layered; superbly crafted. I love that it's organic to boot. Drink: 2010-2014. 172080 12.50% XD 750 mL  $21.95 Score: 90/100. June 22, 2012 Best Beef Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
